But he was very different to Dukat's daughter.

He was growing his beard.

At the risk of devolving into ad hominem...

I feel that Nintendo hasn't made a good Mario game since.. 3D world on the 3DS/wiiU and before that.. Mario Galexy and then.. since Paper Mario on the original Wii. those games were in my opinion the best of what Mario has to offer as it was originally intended. Fun, colorful cartoony, and exciteing.

...how old were you when those games were released?

I know, right? It's 2023. They should really provide a QR code or something.

We'll just ignore the fact that the other guy in that clip was one of the wormy dudes undercover

Geordie at Conn?

Having the blind guy flying the ship is pure camp, and I'm here for it.

how much they love the ship

Holy ship!

Never underestimate how triggering gaslighting can be

Look. I just spent way too long looking unsuccessfully for a clip of Todd the Wraith saying "COLONEL JOHN SHEPPARD!" in that way that only Todd the Wraith can. So let's just pretend that I found a clip and posted the link here.

They almost undoubtedly would. That wasn't the problematic statement.

Let's go over some fundamentals here.

fsck is a utility for checking and repairing filesystem errors. Some filesystems do not support doing so when they are mounted.

Why? At a high level, because:

The utility needs the filesystem to be in a consistent state on disk. If the filesystem is mounted and in-use, that will not be so: The utility might come across data affected by an in-flight operation. In its state at that exact moment, the utility might think there is corruption and might attempt to repair it.

But in doing so, it might actually cause corruption once the in-flight operation is complete. That is because the mounted filesystem also expects the disks to be in a consistent state.

Some filesystems are designed to support online fsck. But for OP's purposes, I assume that the ones they are using are not so (hence the reason for the post).

"I know!" said the other commenter. "RAID uses mirroring! So why not just take the mirror offline and do it there?"

Well, for the exact same reasons as above, and then some additional ones.

Offlining a mirror like that while the filesystem is in use is still going to result in the data on the drive being in an inconsistent state. And then, as a bonus, if you tried to online it again, that puts the mirrors in an inconsistent state from each other too.

Even if you wanted to offline a mirror to check for errors, and even if you were doing a read-only check (thus not actually repairing any errors, thus not actually changing anything on that particular drive), and even if you didn't have to worry about the data on disk being inconsistent... The filesystem is in use. So data on the still-online drive has undoubtedly changed, meaning you can't just online the other one again (since they are now inconsistent from each other).
